Well there is a third option that Benji pointed out:  PS4 and Xbone are actually comfortably *down*.  Benji and others like him track through extrapolation based on data they have.  The accuracy is dependent on properly understanding the marketshare they are accounting for in the stores they track.  It's entirely possible that what looked like a very strong year in hardware was actually fairly mediocre overall.   But the people providing estimates underestimated the marketshare they were tracking and thus overestimated the total sales happening across the industry.

I don't believe in benji data honestly, ever since he said switch had a chance to win last november and it got out sold by nearly a million, i'm just not a believer and if these numbers are true, he should stop. 

All he said this month:

- Switch had a huge boost YoY in regards to BF week (proven true)
- Switch was outselling the PS4 earlier in the month
- PS4 had a huge BF week but at best will be sorta flat for the month or down a bit
- PS4 probably takes the month still but by a narrower margin than last year
- Xbox likely down YoY

All of these can be true, and switch still sell 1-1.2 million.
